MATH DAY1

OK, my mom ask me a question: 

Here is the big question

-b-(-b+c+-e)+(-b)-(-b)+2c+(-4e)=?

and here is my answer:

-b+b+c-e-b+b+2c-4e
c-e-b+b+2c-4e
+c-e+2c-4e
3c+4e

my mom said that was wrong, and here are the correct steps: 

=-b+b-c+e-b+b+2c-4e
=-c+e+2c-4e
=c+e-4
Good job, mom. OK fine, I was wrong, but I can try it again. 

(Mom: well, well, well, that's what you have to pay when you makes mistakes!!!*)

ok, fine. next question:

8a-((9b-(-b)+(a+b)-(a+3b))+9-(-a)=?
=8a-((9b+b+a+b-a-3b))+9+a
=8a-8b+9+a
=9a-8b+9x

9a-8b+9

And guess what, this time, I did it right. 

(Ryan: YAY!)
So I am off the huuk(hook**), g2g shopping now! see ya.

art of problem solving

The other day, my greatest mother told me a wonderful math site: Art of Problem Solving. I love math, and I love to watch fun math videos. I decided to watch a few a day and blog about it. Stay tuned.

The Snow Fort

The Snow Fort


Today I made a huge snow fort. It was awesome! we even put a tunnel in it. I love it. Then mom used her shovel to get snow (into and) onto the igloo we made. It was fun and it helped clean up the driveway. But it will (sadly) melt down. :(

My first Chess Trophy

My first Chess Trophy!

This is my new blog for summer sky kid a.k.a. Ryan N.

Today I got a cool chess trophy at the hough street elementary school  chess tournament. It was the first time I've gone to a chess tournament. I got fourth place. I ran into a lot of my friends like Tarun, Justin, and William. The tournament raises money to help Meher. She was sleeping inside a mosquito net. Suddenly the mosquito net caught on fire. Meher was burned badly, and she needed help. So Chess Without Borders started chess tournaments to raise money for Meher. I think that was a good idea. I'm so proud that I helped Meher by playing chess.
